Jill Tefft and her father, Richard Tefft, of Greenwich have purchased and are renovating a schoolhouse dating to 1850 where Jill's grandfather and great-grandmother once attended school. They plan to turn it into a single-family home. While cleaning up the building, they found artwork signed by Jill's grandfather, Richard Tefft Sr., dating back to around 1940. "There's a ton of family history {here]," says Jill. Her husband, Ben, and son, Philip, drop by the place on occasion. Photos provided by the Tefft family.
